I would still like to get any SGI. :lol: Feels weird to be on here this long and not have one. I also still need to get a NeXT, and I wouldn't be opposed to getting a VAX and/or Itanium system as well.

Alternatively, if you have a newer laptop with an Express...

Just got this nice thing in the mail (excuse the reflections, this thing is real shiny): https://i.imgur.com/EMlIOu6.jpg This is an " Altairduino ". It's an MITS Altair 8800 simulator that runs on an Arduino Due. Certainly the closest I'll get to owning an Altair any time soon, and easier ...
